Great point. I think that's the hidden drawback with buying cheapo and/or used bikes that budget-bike buyers maybe do not anticipate. All bikes need some degree of maintenance but the crappy ones sometimes are not adjustable when the time comes. They work until they stop working and then that's it.
Couple that with potentially expensive shop labour and retail parts costs to fix things and I can appreciate why some people just ditch the thing when it starts to fall apart.
